Create first debian package

[defaultbranch]

Package PDAL-2.7.2 for Debian.

State on Salsa:

• abandoned Salsa repository (archived): https://salsa.debian.org/debian-gis-team/pdal/, Dec 2017 - Jan 2023
  • contains patches:
    1. privacy-breach.patch:
       • don't embed external images (https://hobu.co/theme/images/hobulogo.png)
    2. use-mathjax-package.patch:
       • not clear what this does, but modifies doc/conf.py
    3. gcc-11.patch
       • maybe obsolete, this ensures #include <limits> is effective in plugins/e57/libE57Format/src/E57XmlParser.cpp
• prospective next Salsa repository: https://salsa.debian.org/rduivenvoorde/pdal, just forked from the abandoned one

I got as far as

$ buildah login ghcr.io
$ buildah bud -f Dockerfile.bookworm-debuild
$ podman run --rm -it <HASH>
/# cd pdal-2.7.2/
/pdal-2.7.2# debuild -us -uc

I guess the problem is that this is a CMake project, not an Autotools project.
